I am using the American term of 'High School'. It could be called 'academy' or 'prep school' or in a number of ways depending on your whereabouts and nationality. It refers to the (4 years in America) period of education between elementary and college.

Please select highest COMPLETED.

Unfortunately, it seems the Front Page Polls section has fallen victim to the front page gremlins which have befallen us lately.

just earned my degree in web development. The funny thing is, I make more as a stone mason than I could developing web sites. :stupid:

Hey great poll and all. But you left out those of us that are still in high school

Bill, how about 'Some high school?'

Eh good point:stupid:

Here we go again! Refine that test!

Another question to ask:

Whi is actually doing for a living what they were educated to do?

Keep up the "outstretched Pinkie" collecting- it is rather interesting!

I'm with you mtdripo, could have made more money as a bar tender. Count me in as highly educated, never grew up, don't intend to, and doing what I was trained for.

I dont get this American schooling system... In AUS we have

Preprimry- from 5yrs

Primary- years 1-7

High School- years 8-12

University- For however long

In AUS you can drop out in year 10. Years 11 &12 focus on uni (for some reason they dont encourage trades!?!) Years 11 & 12 are SERIOUS! im in year 11, if I get an apprentaship this year I'll leave FOR GOOD! if not... I'll keep on till next year.

I earned a B.A. in Music Arranging, Scoring, and Conducting. Worked 35 years as a Grocery Clerk and then retired, got bored and went to work as the Receiver at ACE Hardware. Played the Saxophone, Piano and drove Datsuns all my adult life. So, I never really grew up either!:classic:

Hey Chris:

To help you understand here's how it was for me:

Pre-school (kindergarten) Age 4

Grade School (Elementary)

Grades 1 thru 6 Age 5 thru 10

Junior High School

Grades 7 thru 9 Age 11 thru 13

High School

Grades 10 thru 12 Age 14 thru 16

College

Some folks go to Technical(Trade) school after High School.

Cheers ChrisA, That helped alot. In AUS if people dont get into university(or dont wanna) there is TAFE. Its like a lower level of uni, but still tertiary(sp?) schooling. Or they go into the workforce, like me!
